Sarah and Ian's Move to Ottawa

The story so far...having planned and booked a three month trip to South America, we were given a difficult decision to make when Ian was offered a job in Canada. After much hard thinking, we took the job, but get the best of both worlds as we still have two weeks in Brazil and Chile before arriving in Ottawa. We are now living in Ottawa and enjoying the big adventure of living somewhere new. This is the story of our experience...

What the puck?

We looked round some apartments at the weekend and this has made us realise that when we move we’ll have to buy quite a bit of furniture. Sarah and I walked into town this evening to change a pair of shoes I’d bought at the weekend and to have a hot chocolate and we had a serious conversation about what our budget should be. We had a lengthy chat about curtains, dining room table and chairs, tv and dvds. The list was adding up and we were solemn about having to spend lots of money.

We’d been to Ikea at the weekend to do price checks on a few items, and as we were in the shopping mall now we went to a department store to compare tv and dvd player prices. They were about the same as we’d previously seen and this worried us. We’d have to be sensible with our money…so of course we bought an air hockey table! I know my mother-in-law Joan will really appreciate it. So much so that we’re thinking of giving it to her as a present.

    You'll have to force your wife into work Ian, to keep you in toys.

    If you get a decent TV, you can probably do without a sofa. An inflatable matress makes a good bed-substitute.
